Career Club Olimpia Asunción.Rovers will use part of the combined pounds 21m from the sales of Santa Cruz, to Manchester City, and Matt Derbyshire, to Olympiacos, to reduce their debts, with losses of pounds 8m expected to be posted for last season. The rest will bolster Allardyce's transfer kitty - and England star Crouch is his No.1 target.
